About our bath re-enamelling in Hilton

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

What we are called out for in Hilton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Hilton. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hilton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Hilton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Hilton?

We do. Technicians travel to Hilton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
